COOLING CENTERS PROVIDE RELIEF FROM EXCESSIVE HEAT AND HUMIDITY
As higher temperatures and humidity settle over the region, DuPage County wants to remind residents that a list of cooling centers throughout the area is available on the County's website. Cooling centers provide those who may not have air conditioning or someone to care for them with a place to get some relief in the summer months.  During times of excessive heat and humidity, it is important to recognize that the elderly are not the only ones susceptible to the excessive heat.  Those who are going to be outdoors this week should also take the necessary steps to ensure they are well-hydrated and dressed appropriately.
